Richard’s earliest newspaper listing appears to have begun on January 7, 1971. A group ad, promoting “Now 4 Theatres With The Newest Frisco Films” and memberships being available; Richard’s is listed with the Los Angeles area Cine 1 and Flick, and North Hollywood’s Sahara.

The same operator may have run another adult theatre a short distance from this one. The Bruce Torrence Hollywood Photograph Collection has a photo, dated 1974, which depicts Richard’s #2 Adult Theatre wedged in a storefront, between a Thai restaurant and “Danny’s Big 20”. The theatre’s sign depicts two female silhouettes, so I assume the venue ran straight adult programming. The building depicted appears to be the structure which still stands at 5533 Hollywood Blvd (currently the Gershwin Apartments).
